Well, this policy promotes people only reading the last post and then responding. As a forum member on many sites, this is not the typical posting pattern. I usually don't like to post on a multi-page thread without reading all the history first. However, with your policy, I'm forced to append to old tired threads with hundreds of dead posts preceeding my post. Therefore I must assume everyone is doing that to some extent. So when responding to threads, I will just ignore the 20 old pages and only read the last post or two and respond to that. I mean what would be the point of quoting a 2 month old post and responding to it anyway? That author is very unlikely to even see that I'm responding to his post 2 months later. Again, seems retarded, but you guys seem to like it, so I'll give your approach a try.
